China: Enhanced Co-Operation with Eire Announced! (18.2,2025)

During his visit, Wang also met with Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Simon Harris.

A unilateral visa-free policy to Ireland to facilitate personnel exchanges between the two countries was announced during Li’s visit last year. And 2024 saw the relaunch of a year-round direct Dublin-Beijing air route, which operates twice weekly.

According to statistics from Ireland’s government, China is Ireland’s largest trading partner in the Asia-Pacific region, with total bilateral trade of 36 billion euros ($37.7 billion) in 2023. Irish goods exports to China have increased by 529 percent in the decade since 2013.

Ireland also enjoys a trade surplus with China, with its exports to China being driven by medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, computer services, agri-food, and financial services.

China: Hou [侯] Family Sentenced for Fake TCM Treatment – Full Story! (18.2.2025)

18/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

There is a tradition within Chinese culture of “Master to Disciple” transmission of spiritual, medicinal, and martial culture (I know – as I have been a recipient and beneficiary of it). This still occurs within the Chinese diaspora – and it still happens in Mainland China – but with the caveat that modern China requires a rigorous professional approach when it comes to medicine and selling treatments to the public. TCM has been aligned with the educational standards of modern medicine – both of which are available to Chinese citizens. In fact, there are entire hospitals dedicated to TCM within which all the staff are university-educated. Mainland TCM doctors also have surgeries throughout the West – and are often not cheap to consult (although some offered “free” treatment to Westerners during the Covid-19 Pandemic). Regardless, a number of law-abiding citizens in China disagree with what the Hou family has experienced via the PRC Judiciary.

It should be noted that the Australian military aircraft chose not to take the clear path but instead intruded into someone else’s territory in the South China Sea, he said.

He added that China’s expulsion of the aircraft was entirely reasonable and lawful, beyond reproach, and a legitimate defence of national sovereignty and security.

“We urge Australia to abandon its risky and reckless behaviour, strictly restrain its front-line naval and air forces, and not act as a follower and enforcer, stirring up trouble in the South China Sea to the detriment of others and itself,” he said.

China: Chinese Student [Zhuang Menghan – 庄梦涵] Killed in US – Police Say Suspect “Asian Male”! (15.2.2025)

At the press conference, the investigator in charge of the case released some details of the case: “The woman who was killed was Menghan Zhuang, a 23-year-old Chinese citizen, who was found at her home by her roommate at 6:45 p.m. on February 4. Investigators believe Ms. Zhuang was murdered by a man she knew, who she let into her apartment the night before she was killed. “At the moment, the investigator is focusing his attention on this person.” During the investigation, investigators found that the man had arrived at the scene the night before the crime, and the video showed that the same man had left her apartment through her second-floor bedroom window on the same afternoon that Ms. Zhuang was found dead. ”

Thoughts on the Zhuang Menghan [庄梦涵] – Emily King – Case! (14.2.2025)

14/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

When Mainland Chinese people arrive in the West, usually as students, or sometimes employees, they are usually shell-shocked at the very different culture they find – even if the people are kind and considerate. The fundamental dualism that has built the Judeo-Christian world is thoroughly alien to these people (I have even found this to be the case regarding the very small percentage of genuine Christians that exist in China). Whenever I have travelled around the world, as soon as I exit the aeroplane, I can immediately feel the different frequency of the culture I have entered. I know nothing and am at the mercy of the indigenous population until I can find my feet. When I return to England, as soon as I land, it is like a hand in a glove – I am familiar with everything and know how and what to do to achieve objectives and solve difficulties. Acculturation and acclimatisation are a matter of experience and familiarity. Even Chinese people born outside of China sometimes express an underlying sense of alienation within the culture their parents or ancestors migrated into.

How the US Media Covered Death of Zhuang Menghan [庄梦涵]! (14.2.2025)

Investigators said a man had arrived with Zhuang at the condo the night before on Feb. 3., and there is video of the same man exiting the condo through the second-story bedroom window on the afternoon of the day she was discovered.

During a Thursday news conference, investigators released a photo of the man they hope to identify and locate. Modica said he couldn’t confirm if the suspect is a CalArts student or not. Homicide investigators believe that people in the area may have seen this person of interest.

“It is clear this is not a random act of violence, and Menghan somehow knew the person of interest, evidenced by bringing that person into her apartment,” Modica said.
